On Tap

Taipei


On Tap bills itself as 'Taipei's only real pub'. Big-screen sports, draught beer, hearty pub grub (pies, burgers and chips) and expats aplenty do indeed give it that Brit-beery feel. NT$100 drinks before 8pm and a beer garden make it a nice place for an evening tipple. There's a darts board and pool table downstairs.
